Note that normal incidence shear wave coupling is generally not possible at<br />

elevated temperatures because commercial shear wave couplants will liquify<br />

and lose the very high viscosity that is necessary <strong>for</strong> transmission of shear<br />

waves.<br />

We offer two types of high temperature couplant:<br />

■ Couplant E - Ultratherm Recommended <strong>for</strong> use between 500° and<br />

970° F (260° to 520° C)<br />

■ Couplant G - Medium Temperature Couplant Recommended <strong>for</strong> use at<br />

temperatures up to 600° F (315° C).<br />

For a complete list of couplants available from Olympus, along with further<br />

notes on each, please refer to the application note on <strong>Ultrasonic</strong> Couplants.
